Description

StarTech C6PATCH7YL 7ft Yellow Cat6 Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6PATCH7YL is a 7-foot, yellow Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed to support multi-gigabit network speeds, including 1/2.5/5Gbps and up to 10Gbps over shorter distances. This cable is essential for connecting high-performance network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, switches, and workstations where reliable data transfer is critical. Its stranded copper conductors and PVC jacket ensure flexibility and durability for deployments in commercial environments. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide robust signal integrity, minimizing data loss and connection issues. This cable is ETL Verified to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, ensuring it meets stringent performance requirements for modern networks.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, but is optimized for Cat6 performance. It supports 10Gbps Ethernet speeds up to 160 feet (55 meters), making it suitable for connecting devices within a rack or across a small office space. It is compatible with any RJ-45 network device, including IP cameras, network switches, routers, servers, and computers. The cable also supports 100W PoE (Power over Ethernet), allowing it to carry both data and power to compatible devices like IP phones or wireless access points, simplifying installation by eliminating the need for separate power supplies.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors, offering greater flexibility than solid copper, which is beneficial for frequent moves, adds, or changes in a network infrastructure. The PVC jacket provides a balance of flexibility and durability for general-purpose use. For optimal performance and to ensure 10Gbps speeds, keep the cable run within the specified 160-foot limit. Ensure connectors are securely seated in their ports to maintain a stable connection.
